- the laser cutting operation can therefore be performed on the laminate comprising all of its polymer sheets, "complete”, or on the laminated glazing after assembly. It goes without saying that we stay within the framework of the invention by performing this laser cutting on a laminate which would "Incomplete”, which would contain at least the polymer sheet functionalized and to which, after cutting, we would add the sheets, "missing" items.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un vitrage feuilleté réfléchissant des rayons thermiques, en particulier pour automobiles, ou tout autre type de véhicules, moyen de locomotion terrestre, aérien ou maritime, constitué d'au moins deux feuilles de verre et d'au moins une feuille de polymère disposée entre ces feuilles de verre, adhérant à ces dernières, notamment par collage, et pourvue d'au moins une couche fonctionnelle du type métallique réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge, qui s'étend au moins le long d'une partie de la périphérie du vitrage jusqu'à son bord. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé pour la fabrication d'un tel vitrage feuilleté.The present invention relates to laminated glazing reflecting thermal rays, in particular for automobiles, or any other type of vehicles, means of locomotion by land, air or sea, made up at least two sheets of glass and at least one sheet of polymer disposed between these glass sheets, adhering to the latter, in particular by bonding, and provided with at least one functional layer of the type metallic reflecting infrared radiation, which extends at least the along part of the periphery of the glazing to its edge. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such laminated glazing.
Dans le cas de vitrages feuilletés de ce type se pose le problème bien connu qu'au fil du temps, des phénomènes de corrosion, gênants du point de vue optique, apparaissent au niveau du bord de la couche métallique, surtout s'il s'agit d'une couche d'argent, et progressive vers l'intérieur. Différentes solutions sont connues pour empêcher ce processus de corrosion.In the case of laminated glazing of this type the problem arises well known that over time, corrosion phenomena which are bothersome from an optical point of view, appear at the edge of the metal layer, especially if it is a layer of silver, and progressive inward. Different solutions are known to prevent this process from corrosion.
Un procédé pour empêcher la corrosion de la couche d'argent, connu par exemple d'après le document EP-A-0 391 165, consiste à munir la surface périphérique du vitrage feuilleté d'une matière de scellement résistant aux conditions atmosphériques. Ce procédé connu convient certes pour des vitrages feuilletés qui sont enserrés, au niveau du bord, dans un cadre périphérique, de telle sorte que le scellement soit recouvert par le cadre. Toutefois, ce procédé convient moins pour des vitrages feuilletés, dans lesquels les bords des feuilles de verre sont à nu à l'état monté. Dans ce cas, les matières de scellement sont en effet non seulement visibles, mais aussi exposées à des sollicitations mécaniques et aux influences météorologiques, qui peuvent conduire à une altération voire, dans certaines circonstances, à une destruction des couches de scellement.A known method for preventing corrosion of the silver layer for example according to document EP-A-0 391 165, consists in providing the peripheral surface of laminated glazing with sealing material resistant to atmospheric conditions. This known process is certainly suitable for laminated glazing which is enclosed, at the edge, in a peripheral frame, so that the seal is covered by the frame. However, this process is less suitable for laminated glazing, in which the edges of the glass sheets are exposed in the assembled state. In in this case, the sealing materials are not only visible, but also exposed to mechanical stresses and influences weather, which can lead to alteration or even, in certain circumstances, destruction of the sealing layers.
Il est connu d'après le document DE 2344616 A1 d'éviter le risque de corrosion au niveau du bord par le fait que la couche d'argent présente sur la pellicule de polymère, qui s'étend en tant que telle jusqu'à la surface périphérique du vitrage feuilleté, est enlevée au niveau du bord sur une largeur de 3 à 12 mm. L'enlèvement de la couche peut s'effectuer par voie mécanique ou chimique. Dans cette zone marginale, dans laquelle la couche est enlevée, la couche de colle qui est en particulier une couche thermoplastique de polyvinylbutyral s'unit directement à la surface de la feuille de polymère portant la couche d'argent. Ce procédé ne peut cependant pas être exécuté si l'on utilise, lors de la fabrication des vitrages feuilletés, des feuilles de polymères revêtues, qui sont déjà pourvues sur leur face revêtue de la couche de colle. L'utilisation de ces stratifiés est toutefois avantageuse parce que, de la sorte, d'une part le procédé de fabrication est simplifié et, d'autre part, la couche fonctionnelle réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge est protégée des dégradations pendant le procédé de fabrication.It is known from document DE 2344616 A1 to avoid the risk corrosion at the edge due to the fact that the silver layer has on the polymer film, which as such extends to the surface peripheral of the laminated glazing, is removed at the edge on a width from 3 to 12 mm. The layer can be removed by mechanical or chemical. In this marginal area, in which the layer is removed, the layer of glue which is in particular a layer polyvinyl butyral thermoplastic unites directly to the surface of the polymer sheet carrying the silver layer. This process cannot however not be executed if using, during the manufacture of glazing laminated, coated polymer sheets, which are already provided on their face coated with the adhesive layer. The use of these laminates is however advantageous because, in this way, on the one hand the method of manufacturing is simplified and, on the other hand, the functional layer reflecting infrared radiation is protected from damage during the manufacturing process.
Pour obtenir, dans le cas de l'utilisation de stratifiés faits d'une feuille de polymère revêtue et de couches de colle, (des couches favorisant l'adhérence du polymère ainsi fonctionnalisé avec les substrats verriers), la protection nécessaire contre la corrosion, il est connu d'après le document DE 19503510 A1 de découper dans le stratifié un morceau plan plus petit de 1 à 10 mm au niveau du bord par rapport aux feuilles de verre de fabriquer en respectant cette distance marginale, un préensemble à partir de feuilles de verre et du stratifié, de remplir, dans le cas du préensemble, la fente marginale résiduelle en injectant une masse fondue du polymère formant les couches de colle et de fabriquer l'ensemble final au cours d'un traitement suivant en autoclave. Ce procédé connu est cependant relativement coûteux.To obtain, in the case of the use of laminates made of a sheet of coated polymer and layers of glue, (layers favoring the adhesion of the polymer thus functionalized with glass substrates), the necessary protection against corrosion, it is known from the document DE 19503510 A1 to cut a smaller flat piece from the laminate from 1 to 10 mm at the edge relative to the glass sheets of fabricate, respecting this marginal distance, a pre-assembly from sheets of glass and laminate, to fill, in the case of the pre-assembly, the residual marginal slit by injecting a melt of the polymer forming the layers of glue and making the final assembly during a subsequent treatment in an autoclave. This known process is however relatively expensive.
L'invention a pour but de procurer un vitrage feuilleté du type mentionné dans le préambule qui, d'une part, soit protégé contre la corrosion qui progresse depuis le bord, de la couche réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge, d'autre part, ne présente pas les inconvénients connus des solutions connues et en particulier, puisse être fabriqué en utilisant des stratifiés de polymère, et dont la fabrication n'implique qu'un surcroít de coût relativement faible. On entend au sens de l'invention par « stratifié » la superposition d'un certain nombre de feuilles à base de polymère(s) dont au moins une revêtue sur au moins une de ses faces d'au moins une couche fonctionnelle, et au moins une autre favorisant, autorisant l'adhérence, le collage de cette feuille fonctionnalisée à au moins un substrat verrier.The object of the invention is to provide laminated glazing of the type mentioned in the preamble which, on the one hand, is protected against corrosion which progresses from the edge, the reflective layer infrared radiation, on the other hand, does not have the disadvantages known known solutions and in particular can be manufactured in using polymer laminates, the manufacturing of which only involves relatively low cost addition. For the purposes of the invention, the term “ "Laminate" the superimposition of a number of sheets based on polymer (s) at least one of which is coated on at least one of its faces with at least one functional layer, and at least another promoting, allowing adhesion, the bonding of this functionalized sheet to at least a glass substrate.
La (ou les) feuille(s) de polymère que l'on fonctionnalise est généralement à base de polymère flexible, usuellement transparent ou essentiellement transparent, notamment à base de polyester linéaire tel que le polyéthylène théréphtalate (PET), de polycarbonate, de polypropylène, de polyéthylène, de polysulfure, de polyéthersulfure, de polyméthacrylate.The polymer sheet (s) that is functionalized is generally based on flexible polymer, usually transparent or essentially transparent, in particular based on linear polyester such as polyethylene therephthalate (PET), polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polysulfide, polyethersulfide, polymethacrylate.
La (ou les) feuille(s) de polymère permettant d'assembler la feuille de polymère fonctionnalisée à au moins un substrat de type verrier est généralement choisie à base de polymère thermoplastique, du type polyvinylbutyral (PVB) ou de polyuréthane (PU).The polymer sheet (s) used to assemble the sheet of polymer functionalized with at least one glass-type substrate is generally chosen based on thermoplastic polymer, of the type polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or polyurethane (PU).
La couche fonctionnelle est généralement métallique, en argent par exemple ou alliage métallique, notamment à base d'argent. Elle peut aussi être en nitrure métallique du type nitrure de titane ou de zirconium.The functional layer is generally metallic, in silver by example or metallic alloy, in particular based on silver. She can also be made of metallic nitride of the titanium nitride or zirconium type.
Il peut y avoir plusieurs couches fonctionnelles, à base d'argent notamment, qui se trouvent intercalées par des revêtements en matériau diélectique. On peut se reporter par exemple aux brevets EP-438357 décrivant une couche fonctionnelle à base de Ta, EP-0511 901 décrivant une couche fonctionnelle à base de NiCr, ou aux brevets EP-506 507, EP-611 213, EP 636 587, EP-678 484, EP-718 250 pour des empilements à une couche d'argent, ou EP-638 528 pour des empilements à deux couches d'argent.There may be several functional layers, based on silver in particular, which are interspersed with coverings of material dielectric. One can refer for example to the patents EP-438357 describing a functional layer based on Ta, EP-0511 901 describing a functional layer based on NiCr, or in patents EP-506 507, EP-611 213, EP 636 587, EP-678 484, EP-718 250 for stacks with a layer of silver, or EP-638 528 for two-layer stacks silver.
Dans le cas du vitrage feuilleté conforme à l'invention, contrairement à toutes les solutions connues, on s'est accomodé volontairement d'une corrosion de la couche d'argent dans la zone marginale extérieure extrême. Grâce à la ligne de séparation étroite, il est cependant acquis que le processus de corrosion s'arrête au niveau de cette ligne de séparation. En l'occurence, et c'est étonnant, il s'est avéré que l'effet de barrage de la ligne de séparation l'élément s'utilise même si la ligne de séparation est étroite et, en tant que telle, à peine visible à l'oeil nu. Si la bande marginale extérieure extrême est corrodée, on peut certes la reconnaítre de par son changement de couleur, mais on peut la couvrir par des mesures appropriées, de telle sorte qu'elle ne soit pas visible en tant que telle.In the case of laminated glazing according to the invention, unlike to all known solutions, we willingly accommodated a corrosion of the silver layer in the extreme outer marginal zone. Thanks to the narrow dividing line, however, it is understood that the corrosion process stops at this separation line. In the occurrence, and it's amazing, it turned out that the barrage effect of the dividing line the element is used even if the dividing line is narrow and, as such, barely visible to the naked eye. If the marginal band external surface is corroded, we can certainly recognize it by its color change, but we can cover it with measurements appropriate, so that it is not visible as such.
Une mesure particulièrement simple pour couvrir la bande marginale sensible à la corrosion consiste en ce qu'au moins une des deux feuilles de verre est pourvue d'un cadre décoratif d'une encre opaque, de préférence d'une encre à cuire noire ou d'un émail opacifiant.A particularly simple measure to cover the marginal band susceptible to corrosion is that at least one of the two sheets of glass is provided with a decorative frame of opaque ink, preferably black baking ink or cloudy enamel.
La fabrication des vitrages feuilletés conformes à l'invention s'effectue de telle façon que, dans le cas de l'utilisation d'un stratifié avec une couche de polymère recouvrant la couche réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge, la ligne de séparation soit réalisée conformément au tracé souhaité à l'aide d'un faisceau laser, traversant la couche métallique réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge, à l'intérieur du stratifié sans influencer les couches de polymère voisines.The manufacture of laminated glazing according to the invention is carried out in such a way that, in the case of the use of a laminate with a polymer layer covering the radiation reflecting layer infrared, the dividing line is made according to the layout desired using a laser beam, passing through the metal layer reflecting infrared radiation, inside the laminate without influence the neighboring polymer layers.
Il est certes connu en principe de structurer des couches multiples, réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge, de la technique en question ici avec une couche fonctionnelle en argent à l'aide d'un faisceau laser. Un tel procédé est décrit, par exemple, dans le document DE 19508042 A1. Dans le cas des procédés connus, les couches en question se trouvent cependant directement sur une surface de verre libre, de sorte que d'éventuels produits réactionnels peuvent se dégager. Dans le cas du procédé conforme à l'invention, par contre, aucun produit réactionnel ne peut se dégager. De plus, la couche réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge est intercalée entre des couches de polymère, qui doivent être traversées par le faisceau laser sans pouvoir être endommagées de manière visible par ce dernier.It is certainly known in principle to structure multiple layers, reflecting infrared radiation, of the technique in question here with a functional silver layer using a laser beam. Such process is described, for example, in document DE 19508042 A1. In in the case of known methods, the layers in question are however found directly on a free glass surface, so that any products reactionary can emerge. In the case of the process in accordance with the invention, on the other hand, no reaction product can be released. Of more, the layer reflecting infrared radiation is interposed between layers of polymer, which must be crossed by the laser beam without being able to be visibly damaged by the latter.
L'invention sera appliquée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de deux
exemples de réalisation avec référence aux dessins annexés qui
représentent :
Pour obtenir une protection optimale contre l'échauffement des automobiles par le rayonnement solaire, il est avantageux de doter non seulement le pare-brise, mais également la lunette arrière et les vitres latérales de couches réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge. Comme le problème de la corrosion marginale de la couche fonctionnelle se pose surtout dans le cas de vitres ayant des bords à nu, et comme les bords à nu sont inévitables, en particulier dans le cas des vitres de portières à manivelle, une telle vitre de portière à manivelle est représentée, à titre d'exemple pour un vitrage feuilleté conforme à l'invention, sur les figures 1 et 2. Evidemment, toutes les autres vitres d'une automobile peuvent également être conçues de manière correspondante avec le même résultat.To obtain optimal protection against overheating of automobiles by solar radiation it is advantageous to endow not only the windshield, but also the rear window and the windows side of layers reflecting infrared radiation. As the marginal corrosion problem of the functional layer arises especially in the case of panes having bare edges, and like bare edges are inevitable, especially in the case of door windows with crank, such a crank door window is shown, by way of example for laminated glazing according to the invention, in Figures 1 and 2. Obviously, all the other panes of an automobile can also be designed correspondingly with the same result.
Le vitrage feuilleté 1 conçu comme une vitre de portière à manivelle
comprend une feuille de verre intérieure 2 tournée vers l'habitacle et une
feuille de verre extérieure 3. Les feuilles de verre 2 et 3 sont chacune faites,
par exemple, de verre flotté de 2 mm d'épaisseur et elles sont partiellement
trempées pour élever leur résistance mécanique. Les feuilles de verre 2 et 3
sont chacune pourvues d'une bande marginale décorative opaque 4 et 5,
respectivement, imprimée au niveau des bords sur la face tournée vers
l'habitable. Ces bandes marginales décoratives 4, 5 ont une largeur
d'environ 5 à 15 mm et sont faites, par exemple, d'une encre à cuire, qui
est cuite au cours du chauffage des feuilles de verre nécessaire pour le
bombage et/ou la trempe des feuilles de verre 2, 3. Dans le cas de la bande
marginale décorative 5 sur la feuille de verre 3, il peut également s'agir, au
lieu de cela, d'une encre ou d'une laque qui ne nécessite aucune opération
de cuisson. Comme cette bande marginale décorative 5 se trouve à
l'intérieur du vitrage feuilleté, elle n'est pas en contact avec l'atmosphère et
donc, elle ne doit pas présenter la même résistance aux influences
atmosphèriques que la bande marginale décorative 4. Des trous 6 peuvent
être pratiqués au niveau du bord inférieur du vitrage feuilleté pour la fixation
du lève-vitre.Laminated glazing 1 designed as a crank door window
includes an
Un stratifié 8 à plusieurs couches est disposé entre les deux feuilles
de verre 2 et 3 et est uni à ces dernières. Le stratifié 8 comprend un film
support 10, par exemple de téréphtalate polyéthylène (PET) de 0,1 mm
d'épaisseur, qui est pourvu sur une de ses surfaces d'une couche
superficielle 11 réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge, ainsi que les deux
feuilles 12 et 13 de chaque fois 0,4 mm d'épaisseur environ faites d'un
polymère thermoplastique, en particulier du polyvinylbutyral.A
Dans le cas du revêtement superficiel 11 réfléchissant la chaleur, il
s'agit, par exemple, d'un empilement de couches avec une couche
fonctionnelle d'argent d'environ 10 mm d'épaisseur, qui est disposée entre
des couches antireflet diélectriques faites d'un oxyde métallique ou semi-conducteur
et le cas échéant, des couches de protection métalliques
minces. Les différentes couches constituant la couche superficielle 11 sont
déposées habituellement suivant le procédé de pulvérisation cathodique
assistée par champ magnétique sur le film de support 10, et le film de
support 10 pourvu ainsi de l'empilement de couches 11 est ensuite associé
à deux feuilles de polyvinylbutyral 12, 13. Ce type de stratifié appartient à
l'état de la technique.In the case of the
A une distance A de, par exemple, 4 mm de la surface périphérique
14 du vitrage feuilleté, la couche d'argent située à l'intérieur de
l'empilement de couches est pourvue, le long des bords latéraux et du bord
supérieur, d'une ligne de séparation 16 large d'environ 0,2 mm. Une telle
ligne de séparation n'est pas nécessaire le long du bord inférieur du vitrage
feuilleté, parce que la zone inférieure de la vitre de portière à manivelle est
cachée dans le puit de la portière, de sorte que la corrosion marginale dans
cette zone ne gêne pas. Comme cela ressort des dessins, la ligne de
séparation 16 et la zone marginale située à l'extérieur de la ligne de
séparation 16 sont couvertes par les bandes marginales décoratives 4, 5 de
telle sorte que des modifications de couche résultant de la corrosion ne
soient pas visibles. At a distance A of, for example, 4 mm from the
La ligne de séparation 16, dans le cas de l'exemple de réalisation
représenté, est tracée avant la fabrication du vitrage feuilleté, en posant le
stratifié 8 sur un support approprié, en focalisant un faisceau laser sur le
plan de la couche métallique 11 et en guidant le laser le long de la ligne
souhaitée sur le stratifié.The dividing
Une installation pour la réalisation automatique d'une telle ligne de
séparation est représentée dans son ensemble sur la figure 3. Elle comprend
un laser He-Ne 18 d'une puissance de 30 W et une tête déviatrice de la
lumière 19 avec un système optique de focalisation 20. Le rayonnement
laser est acheminé par l'intermédiaire d'une fibre optique 21 jusqu'à la tête
déviatrice de la lumière 19. La tête déviatrice de la lumière 19 est disposée
sur un chariot en croix non représenté en tant que tel, qui est entraíné dans
la direction X et dans la direction Y par un circuit de commande 22 à
programme enregistré conformément au programme de déplacement
souhaité. Le stratifié 8 à traiter se trouve en-dessous de la tête déviatrice du
rayonnement 19 sur la table 23. Après le traçage de la ligne de séparation,
le stratifié est ensuite transformé directement en vitrage feuilleté ou stocké
provisoirement jusqu'à la transformation ultérieure.An installation for the automatic realization of such a line of
separation is shown as a whole in Figure 3. It includes
a He-Ne 18 laser with a power of 30 W and a deflector head of the
Dans le cas de la réalisation du vitrage feuilleté représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la ligne de séparation doit être tracée avant que le vitrage feuilleté ne soit fabriqué. Cela est nécessaire parce que sinon, le rayon laser serait absorbé par les bandes marginales décoratives 4 ou 5. Toutefois, si une bande marginale décorative seulement est prévue, de sorte qu'une des deux feuilles de verre est totalement transparente au bord, ou si le vitrage feuilleté ne présente pas du tout de bande marginale décorative, la ligne de séparation peut également être tracée ultérieurement sur le vitrage feuilleté achevé, en focalisant le faisceau laser à travers une feuille de verre sur la couche réfléchissant le rayonnement infrarouge et en guidant la tête déviatrice de la lumière19 sur le vitrage feuilleté achevé au niveau de son bord.In the case of the laminated glazing shown on the Figures 1 and 2, the dividing line must be drawn before the glazing is not manufactured. This is necessary because otherwise the laser beam would be absorbed by the decorative marginal bands 4 or 5. However, if only a decorative marginal strip is provided, so that one of the two sheets of glass is completely transparent at the edge, or if the glazing laminated has no decorative marginal strip at all, the line of separation can also be traced later on laminated glazing completed, by focusing the laser beam through a sheet of glass on the layer reflecting infrared radiation and guiding the head light deflector19 on the laminated glazing finished at the level of its edge.
L'opération de découpe au laser peut donc s'effectuer sur le stratifié comportant l'ensemble de ses feuilles de polymère, « complet », ou sur le vitrage feuilleté après assemblage. ll va de soi que l'on reste dans le cadre de l'invention en opérant cette découpe au laser sur un stratifié qui serait « incomplet », qui ne contiendrait qu'au moins la feuille de polymère fonctionnalisée et auquel, après découpe, on viendrait ajouter la ou les feuilles, éléments « manquants ».The laser cutting operation can therefore be performed on the laminate comprising all of its polymer sheets, "complete", or on the laminated glazing after assembly. It goes without saying that we stay within the framework of the invention by performing this laser cutting on a laminate which would "Incomplete", which would contain at least the polymer sheet functionalized and to which, after cutting, we would add the sheets, "missing" items.
